Displaying EditableRegion content in transformations

For a website we are developig using Kentico CMS we wanted to show summaries of subpages of the current page. Along with the name of the document, there should be the introduction tekst from the page. The introduction is entered on the subpage in an editable region.

The menu control uses transformations to show title, date etc. With the following code snippet, any editable region field can be retrieved in the transformation.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21

private String GetField(String alias, String field) { // Get the page info CMS.PortalEngine.PageInfo pi = CMS.PortalEngine.PageInfoProvider.GetPageInfo( CMS.CMSHelper.CMSContext.CurrentSiteName, alias, CMS.CMSHelper.CMSContext.CurrentDocument.DocumentCulture, "", true); if (pi != null) { // Get the field if (pi.EditableItems[field] != null) { return pi.EditableItems[field].ToString(); } } return String.Empty; }

Put this code in a Function library or put it in your transformation directly using <script runat="server"> </script> tags.

To call the function in a transformation use to following in your Transformation:

1	<%# GetField((string)Eval("NodeAliasPath"), "textintro") %>
